EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 6 brought Tetsu and Karada back to emotionally significant locations, grounding the supernatural premise in lived memory and loss. Episode 7 pivots inward, deepening the personal dynamic between Karada and Shōko at the series' midpoint — a natural pause before Episode 8 pushes Karada toward a new stage of independence. Positioned at episode seven of twelve, this installment functions as a turning point where the emotional stakes between the two leads are clarified before the second half begins accelerating toward resolution.
